These are the ends or the black parts of the bumblebee! See picture for more details. Then use the remaining half of the potato to create the yellow center part of the bee.

Next, cut two parallel cuts into the potato about half an inch apart. (You're making a rectangular shape.) Remove the sides by cutting vertically into the potato, meeting the parallel cuts as you go. You will create a rectangular shape / stamp in the potato to be used for the yellow stripe on the bee. See picture for more details. Finally, grab the paint! Spray yellow and black paint on a piece of cardboard or a disposable plate. Make sure you splash enough to thoroughly cover the potato stamp.
